Read All About It
Monday, August 30th, 2010Hello, and welcome to a new week! This week, Inside HigherEd marks the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and its subsequent destruction with two stories; one discusses how rebuilding involves more than construction and the other talks about what happens when the worst financial crisis in decades hits right after Katrina. A literal, then a financial storm can do a number on an institution. Read about these issues and others at Inside HigherEd.
IN KATRINA’S SHADOW: Five years after storm, New Orleans colleges work to rebuild enrollment, faculty and — in some cases — trust.
A RECOVERY AT RISK: Delgado Community College has finally passed its pre-Katrina enrollment levels — only to face massive budget cuts that could reverse the progress.
BLINDING TECHNOLOGY OF ONLINE LEARNING: Will digital education face legal scrutiny for shutting out blind students?
3 MILLION AND COUNTING: As policy debate rages about for-profit colleges’ value, their enrollments continue to soar, nearing 12 percent of all students.
YOU’VE BEEN PRE-APPROVED: New project aims to track down students who have enough credit to earn associate degree but, for whatever reason, never were awarded one.
